Now please read this: "The three then began to bludgeon the little creature with a cricket bat and curtain rods. After battering her for more than half-an-hour, Yoronso stuck a knife into the still conscious dog and began to cut her, even as she moaned and writhed in pain. Finally, they took a brick and smashed Kali's swollen, bleeding skull. The noise and blood seeping under the door attracted attention and a crowd of students and the warden began to bang on the door, forcing it open. Yoronso and his accomplices were caught red-handed — literally." First, you have to believe the story. The description of the happenings inside the room are too graphic. It requires some gullibility! How is it known that Mr. Yoronso skinned the animal when alive? Was it still alive "after they took a brick and smashed Kali's swollen, bleeding skull" subsequent to which they were caught. The smashing followed or was followed by cutting the skin? It took the crowd to bang on the door 'half an hour of bludgeoning' 'cutting up' and 'smashing'. Too many loose ends. The story appears to be a product of highly imaginative mind. She's more worried about her "irish setter' Bindu's fate. Second, what is a humane way of killing? Hanging by the neck? Halal? (Guns are not allowed in the campus) Anyone after food would like to kill fast. Or is there an assumed 'inhuman' trait in the people other than north indians that they derive pleasure from inflicting pain on what they prey?

But there is a humane way of killing an animal for food. Reading this article makes me feel disgusted. I love my non-veg food but if we are to believe what has been described, it's barbaric. You don't skin an animal alive in a civlized society. I fully support strict action against this Mr Yoronso. People like him do create cause for hatred for NE people. I agree that eating a dog may be okay in Nagaland but it is not common in most parts of India and he should have respected that.

Comaparable with the occupational forces of Israel: the arab in their own land has to seek permission of the occupational army to grow vegetables or fruits for sustenance. The 'Irish' setter's [not a desi mongrel there] status is obviously higher than the lowly cur of a Gao Burha. Mr. Shukla should have tried that stuff in his own state with the village pramukh. Just look at her sense of retribution. Only because a dog is a food (as also in China where Beijing olympic is being staged) for a scholar, he should be arrested as a criminal! What about the rape perpetrated by the Indian Jawans in the north east? What about quarantining of the villages of the north east since 'independence' so that the old and feeble and the very young of starvation and mal- nutrition? What about the wanton killing of the innocent by the army in these areas? Are these not crimes? Has shshould diee ever made a whisper? No Mr. Goyari, we do not have to be apologetic about our food habit. If we eat a dog, so what? It is like eating vegetables, another form of life. We are not here to please the sensibilities of the likes of Mrs. Shukla here.

I also love dogs and other animals. But author's one sentence is not palatable for many north-eastern people:It says: "Apparently North-Eastern students at JNU regularly lynch and barbecue dogs". I heard that many people in Nagaland state eat dog meat. Now North-Eastern (NE)India consists of eight states: Assam, Arunachal, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura and Sikkim. Except some people in Nagaland, people from other NE states do not eat dog meat. FYI, many people in NE India are vegetarians. Thus, it may be right to say that many students from Nagaland eat dog meat, but it is not right to say that whole north-eastern students kill dogs for meat. Ambika's above statement is hurting the sentiment of many people of north-easter region of India. Regards, Phanindra Hyderabad ********************************** Murder Most Foul article by Ambika Shukla [EMAIL PROTECTED] Murder Most Foul Pets One of the most anxious days of our army posting in Nagaland had nothing to do with the insurgency. It was the day, our Irish Setter, Bindu went missing. Given a free rein of the area, she would romp happily over hill and dales yet magically appear at one whistle or call. But one evening there was no familiar figure loping homeward in response to our frantic whistles and calls. After combing the area, my husband visited the Gaon Burha (village Pradhan) of the closest Naga settlement and spelt out all sorts of dire consequences if the dog did not return. Twenty minutes later, Bindu was safely home. An incident that occurred this week brings home the awful fate that Bindu so narrowly escaped. On the night of July 7, Yoronso, a 30-year-old Naga student at Delhi's prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) invited two pals over to his hostel room. Kali, a friendly eight-year-old campus dog (born and brought up there) happened to be sitting near the stairs. Using biscuits they lured her upstairs into Yoronso' s room (No 248 Kaveri Hostel) and bolted the door. Yoronso fed Kali some rice from the hostel mess and then tied up her mouth. The three then began to bludgeon the little creature with a cricket bat and curtain rods. After battering her for more than half-an-hour, Yoronso stuck a knife into the still conscious dog and began to cut her, even as she moaned and writhed in pain. Finally, they took a brick and smashed Kali's swollen, bleeding skull. The noise and blood seeping under the door attracted attention and a crowd of students and the warden began to bang on the door, forcing it open. Yoronso and his accomplices were caught red-handed — literally. Everyone was nauseated to find the battered remains of Kali and the cruelty that had been inflicted on the dog. Some students immediately summoned the police. But the warden, anxious to avoid any controversy, immediately planned a cover up by removing the body and the murder weapons. Students were warned not to make any statement to the police or press. When the police arrived, they conducted a cursory check; but neither made any arrests nor recorded the prima facie evidence. In fact, they would have done nothing had not one of the students called up activist Maneka Gandhi who immediately intervened and lodged an FIR. On learning that Gandhi had been informed; the warden issued a letter to Yoronso asking him to vacate his hostel accommodation. Yoronso is due to submit his Ph.D on July 21 and was already in the process of vacating his room prior to this event, so the Warden's action is surely an eyewash. Here is what the institution should do to punish such a crime and its perpetrators; firstly, Yoronso should be expelled and blacklisted from the school. The University should also refuse to accept Yoronso's Ph.D thesis, which his guide should also refuse to sign. The varsity must also revoke his Bachelor and Master's Degrees, and co-operate with the police to chargesheet and arrest all the three men. Instead, let's look at how JNU, this haloed learning ground, is actually conducting itself in the issue. Yoronso has been coached by the University to say that he reacted in self-defence after the dog attacked him. This is clearly untrue for a lot of reasons. First, the students unanimously vouch for Kali's gentle, friendly nature. Second, you shoo away or escape from a ferocious dog, you certainly don't lock it inside with you. When this theory failed, Yoronso was provided a second story. Now Kali was supposed to have entered his room and eaten his food. Why would his food be lying on the floor, and again, why did he not chase the dog away rather than locking her inside? Apart from the shame of a top University colluding with criminals, even more shameful is that these so-called mastermind academics cannot even come up with a plausible cover-up! But that does not mean that Yoronso won't get away. In this cruel and crazy world, even such blatant barbarity might go unpunished if we all do not protest. This apparently is not the first instance of dogs being killed at JNU. Apparently North-Eastern students at JNU regularly lynch and barbecue dogs. Kali's mother, Leela, was an earlier victim. This won't stop unless we make it stop.
